Hello, My name is Ashtyn (they/them). I am a Registered Psychotherapist & Art Therapist. My practice is supported by several years of experience supporting individuals recovering from the impacts of trauma, and folks belonging to the LGBTQ community. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, collaborative, intersectional, strengths based, holistic approach. I work with adults & youth (11+), incorporating therapeutic modalities that support the body & mind, including: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (body based therapy), IFS/parts work, Art Therapy, Narrative Therapy, & Mindfulness. You may choose which techniques you would like to integrate in sessions.
My areas of specialization are helping individuals manage/process the impacts of trauma, PTSD/CPTSD, chronic illness/pain, supporting people apart of the LGBTQIA+ community & neurodivergent folks (ADHD/ASD). I also work with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, chronic fatigue & burnout, stress/anger management, addiction, self harm, perfectionism, creative blocks, relationship issues, & life transitions.
Our work together will be collaborative. I will ask for feedback to make sure we are meeting your needs and making necessary adjustments along the way. There will be a balance between developing coping skills to utilize in your daily life, such as self-regulation, boundary setting, self-compassion, etc., as well as space for self-exploration to help better understand and organize your past and current life experiences, and trying out different avenues for self expression besides formal talk therapy (drawing, painting, writing, body work, visualization, play).
Rate: $160 for 1hr session (limited sliding scale spots available)
Availability: In person sessions Monday, Wednesday & Thursday. Virtual sessions are available Monday through Friday.
Age range: I work with adults and youth (11+)
I accept all insurance that covers psychotherapy
